Event description

Description

Emma, Josie and Margie will take you on an amazing journey around their permaculture garden which is bursting with produce front and back. This is one of 3 sites where the Gnomes Farming Cooperative meet to grow food locally in suburban garden spaces. There are 40+ fruiting plants on the large block, including persimmon, apples, plum, hazelnuts, bananas, passionfruit, lilly pilly and a berry forest of blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries. Maximum production is achieved through a market garden area, which this year includes 150 garlic plants, enough to supply the household for a year. The garden also features a beehive, an outdoor kitchen and wood heated bath.
